Endocrinologist Alena Barredo compared the dangers of vegetarianism, veganism and raw foodism.
As the doctor noted, in the first and second cases, a person may experience a deficiency of protein and iron, which enter the body along with animal products.
But, as the doctor noted, raw food is still the most dangerous type of diet.
After all, a person on such a diet refuses not only meat, but also cereals, whole grain products and other important food. As a result, only fruits and vegetables remain in the diet.
Fans of this type of diet experience a deficiency of all important elements.
Therefore, exhaustion of the body manifests itself more quickly and in a rather severe form.
As Barredo noted in a conversation with representatives of the publication " Gazeta.Ru ", usually raw foodists have not only an emaciated appearance, but also a deficit of muscle mass and dry skin.
The doctor reminded that, ultimately, such a diet has a negative effect on the endocrine system.
Thyroid function decreases, and the adrenal glands and reproductive system suffer.
